White crystalline powder, soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, derived from the fruit of bruce chinensis. | [Uses]
Bruceantin A acts as an anti-babesial quassinoid, extracted from the fruits of Brucea javanica, also an effective anti-trypanosomal agent in vitro. Cytotoxic agent. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Bruceine A is a quassinoid. | [Biological Activity]
ic50: 7.7 nm against the parasitescanine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by the intraerythrocytic apicomplexan parasites, babesia gibsoni and b. canis. clinical signs of b. gibsoni infection are anemia, fever, thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and lethargy. bruceine a, a natural quassinoid compound extracted from the brucea javanica (l.) merr. dried fruits, was reported to have antibabesial activity. | [Physiological effects]
Bruisein A has an effect of treating malignant tumor, antimalarial and anti-inflammatory. | [in vitro]
bruceine a inhibited the in-vitro babesia gibsoni growth in canine erythrocytes at lower concentration compared with the antibabesial drug diminazene aceturate and killed the parasites within 24 hr at a concentration of 25 nm [1]. | [in vivo]
oral administration of bruceine a at a dosage of 6.4 mg/kg/day for 5 days resulted in no clinical findings in a dog. an untreated dog developed typical acute babesiosis symptoms including high fever, severe anemia, and complete loss of appetite and movement. however, the two bruceine a-treated dogs maintained their healthy conditions throughout the experimental period of 4 weeks [1]. | [target]
